I am going to the Dr. in the morning to get things started, and I can hardly believe we're at this point already! Last week I was dilated to a 3 and 60% effaced with lots of contractions coming, so my WONDERFUL Dr. said we would strip my membranes on my next app.(tomorrow) and have a baby next week! I confessed my love for her and skipped out of her office with a huge smile plastered on my face! All week, I've been finishing up projects, cleaning, organizing, packing the hospital bag, diaper bag & getting last minute touches on things and I feel ready! (Not for labor, of course) We've waited so long for her to get here and we're thrilled! We can't wait to hold her and see if she has as much black hair as all the others did. So, wish me luck tomorrow and say a prayer that my cervix continues to work her magic- and I'll post pictures as soon as I get home!

That's right, Tristin hopped on his friend's bike last week, and off he went! No training wheels, nothin' It worked out great because just a few days ago our neighbor that was moving, asked if I wanted a bike for him and I said "sure, thank you". So after fixing the tires, Tristin has been in Heaven riding up and down the street. (We don't have side walks, so that's why he didn't have one before this, really, I'm not a bad Mom!)

The new and improved...

Our house

Our new house! We'll be painting the outside soon... hopefully this years taxes will be nice to us so we can get it done. We also want /need to put vinyl windows in. The aluminum ones are super fun!

My fridge!!!

I have wanted an old fridge for years, so naturally, God led me to this yard sale where I found it for $40.00. (And who says he doesn't lead me to good deals?)

My wild flowers in the kichen

Here are the flowers I painted in the kitchen. Notice my AWESOME floor (YEAH!!) and the donated floating orb from Audra (the light came out of her last house. When I saw it, I knew it would look cool somewhere in the house.

The flowers in the main bathroom

I had fun with these ones. I had to have some bright ones too!

My hot pink bathroom!

Yes, I have the greatest husband of all times. He let me have a hot pink bathroom!

My fireplace!

I HATE brick, so I painted this one white. This was the wall that had wall paper on it and then the nasty wall paniling behind it. It looks much cutier now!

Miss Daisy

I was taking pictures of the kids last week in the leaves, and loved this one of Daisy. She's my girl and SO much fun these days. We can hang out together now and it's a blast.
